Description
On the 2nd of October 2018 in the early hours I went to visit Ebbsfleet International for a very rare train - Colas Rail Class 66s on a Network Rail test train which of course is on HS1. The 66s made various runs through the station on almost all lines, and traversed the rarely used connection at Fawkham Junction! Locos used were 66847 & 66850.

Note: the station is closed at night and all the relevant permissions were granted for this visit.

Enjoy!
